Manteca Farm to School

Join our efforts to connect Manteca USD schools with local & regional food growers in order to serve farm-fresh produce in our schools! We promote hands-on learning activities such as school gardening, farm visits, and culinary classes in addition to the integration of food-related education into regular standards-based classroom curriculum.

Check back regularly to learn more about our programs and general Farm2School activities!
